This invention relates to a cord guide for at their upper parts and are then bent up a toy rum1ing,by means of-a rolleron a wardly to form ears la, la, which'embrace cord. This cord guide has for its object, on the cars 71, 2', of'the bows b. The bows and one hand, to maintain thecord on the roller bearing standards are fastened together by p 5 and, on the other hand, to effectively dampen means of the rivet 2' i passing through the 55 the disturbing swinging of the toy, so that ears 2', i, It, it). a smooth flight is obtained. The described construction and arrangelVith the present invention in view it is ment forms a cage closed on four sides, leavpossible for the toy to effect all sorts of ing a space through which is passed the cord I 10 curves, loops and the like, as the cord if f, on which the roller 0, travels. By reason on thrown off will always slip backagain, into of this enclosure or caging, the cord is precontact with the roller, as it cannot jump vented from jumping out of position while out of the'guide.
